Debianito - Post-Installation Automation for Debian
Debianito is a user-friendly post-installation automation script for Debian 12 (Bookworm) and Debian 13 (Trixie). It streamlines system configuration, driver installation, repository setup, gaming tools integration, and more with an interactive menu-driven interface.
System Requirements
| Requirement | Specification |
|---|---|
| OS | Debian 12 (Bookworm), Debian 13 (Trixie) |
| Privileges | Script must be run with sudo privileges by a normal user |
| Terminal | Any modern terminal emulator that supports ANSI colors and UTF-8 box-drawing characters |
| Dependencies | Standard Debian packages; script will install missing dependencies (e.g., whiptail, lsb-release) where necessary. |
Installation Instructions
Step 1: Clone or Download the Repository
git clone https://github.com/stornic56/debianito-post-install
cd debianito-post-install
chmod +x debianito.sh && ./debianito.sh
If you downloaded manually, ensure all .sh files are in their respective directories.
Step 2: Run the Script with Sudo Privileges
Do not run this script as root. Use a normal user account and authorize via
sudo.
./debianito.sh
The script will perform initial checks, detect your system information (CPU, RAM, GPU), then present an interactive menu.
Usage
After running the script:
- Select Option: Use arrow keys or type
1-9. - Confirm Actions: For installation steps, you'll see a confirmation prompt (
whiptail/dialog). - Review System Info: The header displays your detected Debian version and hardware summary before each action.
- Repeat as Needed: Return to the main menu at any time or exit when done.
